Social Responsibilities of the Businessman

By: Howard R. Bowen

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) expresses a fundamental morality in the way a company behaves toward society. It follows ethical behavior toward stakeholders and recognizes the spirit of the legal and regulatory environment. The idea of CSR gained momentum in the late 1950s and 1960s with the expansion of large conglomerate corporations and became a popular subject in the 1980s with R. Edward Freeman's Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach and the many key works of Archie B. Carroll, Peter F. Drucker, and others. In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008–2010, CSR has again become a focus for evaluating corporate behavior. First published in 1953, Howard R. Bowen’s Social Responsibilities of the Businessman was the first comprehensive discussion of business ethics and social responsibility. It created a foundation by which business executives and academics could consider the subjects as part of strategic planning and managerial decision-making. Though written in another era, it is regularly and increasingly cited because of its relevance to the current ethical issues of business operations in the United States. Many experts believe it to be the seminal book on corporate social responsibility. This new edition of the book includes an introduction by Jean-Pascal Gond, Professor of Corporate Social Responsibility at Cass Business School, City University of London, and a foreword by Peter Geoffrey Bowen, Daniels College of Business, University of Denver, who is Howard R. Bowen's eldest son.

Toward Social Economy

By: Howard Rothmann Bowen

This reprinting of Professor Bowen's classic 1948 work inaugurates a new series “Political and Social Economy.” The series will be devoted to developing a literature reflecting a humanistic point of view in economics and economic theory. It will include reprints and commissioned new works espousing a diversity of similarly broad-gauged and frequently nontraditional points of view. Its objective—implicit in the series title—is to increase the angle of vision of economics. The purpose of Professor Bowen's Toward Social Economy, stated in the Preface to the first edition, is “to present a view of the whole economic system, and at the same time to fit that system into place as one part or aspect of the more comprehensive social fabric.” It provides a framework of a complete course in economics for the general reader as well as the student of economics. C. Addison Hickman, the coeditor of this significant new series, has contributed a Foreword reflecting on the importance and contemporary relevance of Professor Bowen's work and making a case for a broad viewpoint in the formulation of economic theory and public policy.

Investment in Learning

The Individual and Social Value of American Higher Education

By: Howard Rothmann Bowen

The value of higher education has been under attack as seldom before in American history. We are told of the overeducated American, of the case against college, and of the failure of education to contribute significantly to the reduction of inequality. In this environment, republication of an exceptionally comprehensive and judicious analysis of all that has been learned-and not learned-about the consequences of American higher education comes at a most appropriate time. Investment in Learning more fully covers the various aspects of this subject than any yet to appear. Howard Bowen is optimistic about higher education, but his viewpoint is based on profound knowledge of both the economic and social aspects of education. Unlike some economists who insist on a strict cost-benefit analysis of expenditures on higher education in relation to outcomes, Bowen argues that the non-monetary benefits are far greater, to the point that individual and social decisions should be made primarily on those broader indicators. Cameron Fincher, in his new opening for the book, notes that "Publication of Howard Bowen's Investment in Learning was like a break in a long summer drought. . . . It was a comprehensive rebuttal to return-on-investment studies with negativistic findings." And in the foreword to the book, Clark Kerr simply says, "Howard Bowen is better prepared to survey the overall consequences of higher education in the United States than anyone else.

Investment in Learning

The Individual and Social Value of American Higher Education

By: Howard Rothmann Bowen

Bowen discusses the value of higher education to the individual and society, arguing that the nonmonetary benefits so far outweigh the monetary benefits that individual and social decisions about the future of higher education should be made primarily on the basis of nonmonetary considerations.
